    same could be said for 300blk in a NR barrel.....

    However if ATRS only provided the different bolts and people did their own conversions after the fact like I suggested above, there is no warranty anymore from the manufacturer.

    It would be like me taking an ACR back to bushmaster after I did my 450 conversion and asking for warranty, they have no obligation to help me in any way.
    If it's either loud, obnoxious, fast, hated by the general population or any combination of these, I OWN IT!!

    No but it's still their name on the rifle. Why add a risk factor of it going wrong and the company looking bad.

    Unless they make the parts proprietary and patent them all themselves, how will they prevent people from doing their own conversions?

    Again, I will use the ACR as an example, I have 7.62x39 and 450 Bushmaster conversions along with Remington 30 AR currently in the works. None of the parts enabling the conversions were from Bushmaster and it was still possible for a moron like myself to get it done.

    Now what risk factor is there to Bushmaster in all this? I don't see any so please enlighten me as how they would look bad if something went wrong with what I did to their rifle.

    If anything, I know first hand that my conversions are responsible for a number of ACR sales and conversions which is only good for business.

    I'm certain Rick would wash his hands of the sale of a MV with any of these mods being done, warranty wise. And liability wise.

    But, feel free to paint your car any color you like.

    It's a non issue really, I can't see anyone asking for warranty or trying to claim liability on something they had modified after purchase.

    Even if they did, there is no legal recourse/ground to stand on.

    Didn't say it was possible to stop people, I said why would they want to do part of it themselves. Especially when they can't even keep up with current demand.

    more sales and a bigger, virtually untapped market share
